Theme 4: How We GREEN

Environmental Sustainability

Planning an efficient, resilient, green and desirable urban centre for today and for the future.

The city’s green spaces, trails, and water (like Little Lake) are what citizens said they love most about Peterborough.

In the Plan It Peterborough process, citizens asked for a “sustainability lens” to ensure initiatives have minimal impact on the environment, generate less waste, and wisely conserve water so we can continue to safely drink, fish, and swim.

Citizens said environmental sustainability means planning for the environment up to 50 years from now so that future generations’ needs can be met. This is especially important for climate change resilience.

10 and 20 years from now, what signs of a healthy environment do you want to see in your neighbourhood and in the city?

Who We Are

Reimagine Peterborough is a citizens movement supporting wide public participation and visionary and creative planning choices in the current once-in-a-generation Official Plan review in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

Picture the Peterborough you want to live in 20 years from now. What do you see?
